This should be forwarded to the time library maintainer, Bjorn Bringert.

If that is the case then he should probably update the email address that darcs uses:

http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/time/_darcs/prefs/email

It is currently set to this list.

I also thought that Ashley Yakeley was the maintainer. I have written the code that this patch concerns though. The patch seems nice, but there are some problems: - Time zone information is not static. - Time zone names are sometimes ambiguous. Shouldn't we really use the OS time zone database for this? /Björn
